Gotta respect the nostr people's quest for decentralization (and for avoiding single points of failure).
I just copied that approach to Nostr, I'm not sure if I thought Nostr was always going to be a single main flow (text notes) but it clearly isn't and hopefully it will grow to be even less like that. Nostr also clearly isn't like a single-implementation programming-language-spec with a dictator and his committee on evaluating random "improvement proposals". So we're forced to conclude that the numberered-documents approach isn't the best way to do coordinate the creation of Nostr-based sub-protocols.
Yes. But "we stop using NIPS" isn't decentralized per se. So I did a suggestion. Also because I complained before that I didn't contribute enough. Maybe this helps.
